I'm back in the e30 game with a new project.
The details:
- Cosmos blue
- S50b30 with a zf320
- 2.93 LSD
- Black vinyl sport interior
- Ireland stage 3 springs, Bilstein Sport shocks
Future plans:
- Install the s54 I've got sitting at a friends house (49k mile motor)
- e30 M3 5 Lug
- RC035/RC038 wheels, and probably collect a few more sets
For now I'm just tallying up the small stuff I need to fix in order to clean it up, some big, and some small, then I'll start with the rest of it.
Things that need fixing:
- Passenger sun visor is warped
- Headlight switch sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
- Drivers side key won't work, something binding inside
- Drivers door break isn't engaging
- Passenger front and rear window aren't working (motors respond but are either super slow or won't crank at all)
- Brake pedal has a lot of travel (it doesn't fluctuate with pumping, so I believe it's a leaky booster)
- Ugly blue carpet
- previous owner colored the needles on the gauge cluster and installed them incorrectly (first gear roll registers going 15 miles an hour, it's about 10mph off)
- Antenna motor broke, will be switching it out for a 318ti setup
And here's a picture as of this morning:
First update:
I removed the mudflaps, they scraped on everything because of how low the car is.
I also tore into the drivers door. It looks like someone tried taking the lock apart, and didn't put it back together correctly. Once I put it back correctly, it works fine.
The window motors are on order, hopefully they will come in sooner than later. I was able to find them through r3v used and in good condition. Saved a few dollars for future parts. Also, headlight switch and sun visor are both on order through r3v. Wednesday I'm going up north to pick up a grey carpet which should help me finish off the interior mods.
Next on the list is the brake booster, which will be swapped for manual brakes, the booster won't fit around the intake on the next motor I'm going to run. I'm also looking for the front and rear plastic bumpers, and late model rear valance to finish off the outside.
Also, after fixing things all morning, I tried to open the glove box and this happened. I'm not sure how to open it, but I'll figure out a way once the replacement parts come in. Looks like the previous owner tried to ghetto rig the glovebox door with shoe goo, didn't work so well.
